Growing Our Grant Support in 2026

One of Choose Clark County’s key priorities for 2026 will be expanding our focus on finding and sharing grant opportunities for businesses, organizations, and communities across the county. Over the past two years in this role, it’s become clear that grant discovery and coordination is an area where we can provide even greater support — and we want to step confidently into that work.

To make this process more accessible, we have started a countywide grant opportunity email list. As new grants appear, we sort them by topic and community priorities — such as childcare, parks, downtown revitalization, business development, public safety, community programs, and more — and share them with residents, leaders, and organizations who may benefit.

Anyone who would like to be included on this list is welcome to join.

Let us know who you are, what community you’re part of, and what types of projects or needs you’re working on.

The more we understand about your goals — whether you’re a daycare, a city, a nonprofit, a business, or a community group — the more effectively we can match available grants to your needs. Some grants require nonprofit status, for example, and in those cases, Choose Clark County can often help by serving as a fiscal sponsor when appropriate. Others may support smaller pieces of a larger project, such as reseeding grass in a park, upgrading safety surfacing, or helping prepare a site for future improvements.

Not every opportunity will fund an entire project, but many can help take an important step forward. And when we know what individuals and communities are working toward, we can also help connect groups with volunteers, partners, or resources that may support the project beyond funding.

In 2026, we’re committed to doing even more to help bring resources into Clark County — through grants, partnerships, and by building a clearer picture of what each community is striving for.
